“Often couples are deeply connected, fascinated really, with each other in the first weeks of the relationship but as years pass we build familiarity (which is a good thing) and our curiosity wanes. We get out of practice staying curiously engaged. Asking strong follow up questions is one place to start that shift.”

And they maintain passion and intimacy by fueling a sense of discovery and space for fascination, mystery, and surprise.”

“Many people have something they love passionately. It could be collecting old farm implements, cross country skiing, foraging for mushrooms, or playing the harmonium. They devote themselves to their interests—obsessively practicing, learning, researching, and talking with those who share their passion. But when it comes to the person we love most in our lives, we don’t do any of this. And then wonder how it all went wrong.”

“Težina, nužnost i vrijednost tri su međusobno povezana pojma: teško je samo ono što je neophodno, samo ono što je teško ima vrijednost. To se uvjerenje rodilo iz Beethovenove glazbe, pa iako je moguće (čak vjerojatno) da su za njega odgovorni više Beethovenovi izdavači nego sam kompozitor, danas ga dijelimo manje-više svi. Veličina čovjeka za nas je u tome što nosi svoju sudbinu kao što Atlas nosi na ramenima nebeski svod. Beethovenov junak je dizač metaforičkih tereta.”

“Neću reći odakle sam pošao, a i to samo zato što me je izreći stvar savršeno stid, tek želim obaznati - možda sjetilno, ali prekrajajući svaki obris dotadašnje gnosije, prolazeći tminom te trivijalne noći, ja sam otkrio da želim drugačije. Naposljetku - totalno - drugačije i prozaičnosti u rasplamsaju ambicije nije mogao nego doći kraj, a to jest ambicija, premda pejorativ, samo tako ustati, poći, potražiti točku osobne promjene, bez stvarnog obzira na cijenu i logiku, istodobno smiješno hladan od vjere da se traganjem išta uopće može pronaći, recimo je to kulmen snažnih težnji, a koje će zakipjeti skoro uvijek kad se osoba samovoljno ostracizira na dovoljno mnogo trenutaka jer tu dolazi do intrikacije, naprsnuća namisli, pa i ako smo mislili ne baviti se pojednostavljenim shvaćanjem stvarnosti već sviknuti se na ideje svjetine, susrest ćemo se - a to je nešto mnogo jače od nas - sa samopobunom, sa ultimativnom potrebom spaljivanja starih vrijednosti.”
